Owen Farrell revealed after his record-beating feat for Saracens that he never felt he was going to miss a shot at goal.

The confident fly-half kicked 32 points in the 37-28 win over Racing Metro, including 10 penalty goals to beat the Heineken Cup best, of nine, by Diego Dominguez and Thierry Lacroix.

Farrell’s match-winning haul in Nantes should confirm his starting place in the England team for the opening Six Nations match against Scotland, at Twickenham on February 2. The victory also keeps Saracens on course for a place in the quarter-finals.

On form: Farrell kicked 32 points against Racing Metro

Saracens say winger David Strettle should be fine for the Six Nations after he was knocked out in a fourth-minute incident which could lead to Racing’s centre Fabrice Estebanez being cited.

Strettle needed treatment for concussion after he was caught from behind by the swinging arm of the South African.

Farrell said Saracens had learned never to give up and were unperturbed by being 22-9 down after 25 minutes.

‘The match showed we play for 80 minutes and always believe we will come through,’ he said. His goal-kicking brought him six penalties in the first half and four after the interval. He also converted a 46th-minute try by winger Chris Wyles.

Farrell said he had felt confident from the start after kicking eight from eight against Sale last Sunday. ‘When you’re striking the ball that well and you get into that kind of groove you feel as if you’ll never miss all day,’ he added.

Meanwhile, Harlequins’ Ugo Monye revealed he will be reimbursed by his bank after thieves went on a £10,000 internet shopping spree with money from his account.

‘When I went through some of the shops they had bought from - Burberry and Apple - it could quite easily have been me, but not Domino’s Pizza. I am professional, so that was the giveaway,’ said Monye, who scored Quins’ fourth try - in his 200th game for the club - as they confirmed their place in the quarter-finals by beating Connacht 47-8.

‘It was a bit of a surprise. I am getting the money back over the next couple of weeks,’ Monye added.
